The White House's Iran Deal Twitter Feed Just Got Stupid

White House

If you thought the debate over the US-Iran deal couldn't get any more ludicrous than this Snapchat filter, then, my dear friend, you were sorely mistaken. For today, the White House's own Iran Deal-themed Twitter account, @TheIranDeal, blew that Snapchat stunt straight out of the water. Or, shall we say, straight out of Compton.

Read it and weep, or sigh, or lament the sad state of political discourse. Pretty much however you decide to express your feelings about this brilliant mess below is okay by us.

Yep, that's right. The White House just promoted the Iran Deal with an NWA meme. It's just the latest example of how politicians are trying to tap younger supporters by pandering to them shamelessly, often to tragically ludicrous effect.

In a statement to Buzzfeed, which inspired the not-so-inspired "Straight outta ..." meme, a White House official said, "To the extent this tweet reaches audiences that our more traditional tweets have not, it will have accomplished the intended objective, especially if it spurs them to learn more about the deal."

In that case allow us to suggest another tweet for @TheIranDeal: "Remember when Kim dumped Kris for Kanye and it was a totally good idea and then they had Nori? Aw! And now Kim's pregnant again? Yay! So, the Iran Deal's gonna be just like that!"
